Activity Description
PointFULL! is a fast-paced, gameshow-style quiz inspired by Pointless, but flipped on its head. Instead of hunting for the most popular answer, teams score more points for guessing the least popular answers. Each round is based on a Top 100 list, and the points awarded match the answer’s position on the list. From pop culture and food to sport, social media, PointFULL! encourages teamwork, discussion, and plenty of laughter.
How to Play
1. Split into teams - Split the group into teams (we recommend 1–4 per team). Each round is based on a Top 100 category (for example: Girls’ Names, Movies, Chocolate Bars, or Interest Badges).
2. Ask the questions - The leader introduces the round and shows the category slide (e.g. Top 100 Ice Cream Flavours). Teams have a set amount of time to discuss and write down their answers (usually 3–5 guesses per team).
3. Reveal the answers - Once time is up, the leader reveals the ranked answer board. Teams take turns reading out their answers. If an answer appears on the Top 100 list, it scores points equal to its position on the list.
4. Scoring - Each correct answer scores the number of points equal to its rank (e.g. #1 = 1 point, #50 = 50 points, #100 = 100 points). Answers not on the list score 0 points
5. Winning - When all rounds are complete, the team with the highest total score wins!
